So i am toying with the idea of desmogging my FJ60 and one question i have is what belt do you use to run the water pump?

What are the advantages of de-smogging?

I got one for way cheaper then that, let me find the information today during lunch. It came from a Cruiser guy on the LCML. Great part, simple and less expensive. It was just a pulley and bracket that replaced my smog pump but used the stock mounting bolts and belt tensioner...
 
the sor one looks like a bling bling part, aluminum with their name engraved in it. I'd go for the cheap one stinkyfj60 is talking about.
 
I have seen people use a double pully on the alternator to run the water pump. I think you have to then use a string to measure the length of the new belt. Take the string to NAPA to try to find a match. They may let you go to the racks and just measure a bunch.

I have thought of the desmog as well. My smog pump is a shell so not working but everything else is intact. Mine runs great and at 15mpg with 230k. The only reason I have considered it is the power increase. I'm gonna watch this forum to see what happens.
Thanks,
Fish
 
mine is desmoged. i run a custom 2 belt setup, no a/c, no ps, no smog.

Found the info. It came from Jim Chenoweth (FJ40Jim@aol.com). I dont know if that is his current email addy but worth a try.
It is a part he built, black brackets and a nylon pulley, replaces the smog pump in its factory location and uses stock belt. I paid under $100 for it in the winter of 03. Been on there since and hasnt given me any problems at all.
 
TLC Performance is the name of his business, just did a search and cant find it, but I bet he will be easy to get a hold of..
 
Are you taking it off the road?

If you desmog it, you won't pass the emissions test and won't be able to drive it on the street. (They're even doing emissions testing in Abilene, as I understand it).
 
I ran a Delco CS unit in place of the Smog pump,it was almost a direct bolt in.I got kinda lucky a buddy of mine knows a guy that runs and owns a Alt and starter rebuild shop,he bumped the alt up from 90 to 140 amp and rigged a pulley for it,which was a spacer and disc spacer disc then the nut.
The cool part is the belt lines up perfect ,the adjuster and lower bolts all work.The grinding I did was to emlarge the adjuster rail slighty ,very little did it with a die grinder in 10 sec
 
Jim C sells idler pulleys.

what are you going to do about theholes that the smog rail goes into ?

you plug them with a npt 1/4" allen bolt, or was that 1/2", do a search for npt plug you will find plenty of info on the plugs. here is two crapy pics showing plugs

do you have a pic of the pulley?
 
This is the best I got... Its hard to see but the pulley and its mounting system are one square tubing and bolts up like the smog pump.
 
What Vaccum hoses do you have to leave hooked up on the stock carb in order to keep it running, hey beaufort why don't you just make a trip up to clemson and help me de smog mine. I'll buy the beer and then ya can go wheelin with us. Thanks Chuck

That's the vacuum line diagram for the 2F engine ( dirty ) from the factory, right? Does that work for all years of the 60 series?

if you wanted it to run smooth, you would need the carb and dizzy to match the vacuum lines.
